Echoes of the Tiki TempleWild Goose Escapes - Huntington BeachEscape roomIRLA fun and silly beginner-friendly room! Everything felt very well put-together and well thought-out. I think they used the space really well, and there were a few puzzles I thought were unique and creative!
EndangeredEscape Games at the RiverEscape roomIRLThis room was hard, but in a good way. All the puzzles made sense and were super fun to figure out. It is a completely non-linear puzzle free-for-all, I have no idea what my other team mates did to solve their puzzles so there is the possibility for replayability. We beat the room with 25 minutes left (out of 75 minutes), which they told us was the best time they had seen so far, so if anyone does better put your time in your review because this room doesn’t have an official leaderboard!
The Secret Of Dragon’s SpireEscape Games at the RiverEscape roomIRLThis was a fun room, not very hard. Team Sushi Thursdays made it on the all-time leaderboard!
The Fortune TellerNo. 1 Escapes - Sky ParkEscape roomIRLJoseph was our awesome host and we are happy to keep getting him as our game master after all these years haha. This room is my favorite by the company so far, the props and puzzles were well done and challenging but not impossible. I recommend you do this room, but it actually wouldn’t hurt to do the other two rooms in the trilogy first. It isn’t necessary (we hadn’t done either of them and played this room first), but since this is the hardest and final room it would serve as good warm-up lol.
Carnage CabinNo. 1 Escapes - Sky ParkEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed this room and loved Joseph as our game master, who has hosted us several times before in the past. This room has some pretty cool working props that we weren’t expecting. I recommend checking this place out!
The Trials Of MerlinTrapped! Escape Room - UplandEscape roomIRLReally fun room! The staff was super nice and had lots of energy, which was one of our favorite parts. I recommend to check this room out if you are in the area!
RockBand - CLOSEDEscapade GamesEscape roomIRLThe time that we spent in this room was super fun, we loved the theme, the puzzles, the set. Unfortunately, that time was very short. My group of three usually escapes a room with 20-30 minutes remaining, depending on difficulty. We got out of this room in 16 minutes (the fastest we have ever gotten out of a room). I mean, it’s a good sign that groups are left wanting more — just not that much more. It is easy and linear and very short. If you have done less than 10 escape rooms and have a small group, I would recommend this room. But I don’t think I can in good faith recommend this room to enthusiasts or anyone with a lot of experience, because the amount of time you will spend in there is not worth the money.
Godzilla vs. King Kong60Out - HHLAEscape roomIRLThe set and some of the special effects in this room were fantastic. It was very high tech, not a single lock in the room. It was, however, too easy of a room in our opinion. The room has a built-in hint system that will tell you what you should be doing at certain time intervals. We asked them to turn it off during the experience, since it either spoiled things or was just plain annoying, but it did not stop. We asked about it afterwards and the staff said that it cannot be disabled. I think for more experienced groups something like this can ruin the experience, and the staff should be able to turn it off. Puzzles were fine, some of them were pretty video-gamey. In terms of theme and story, there are many movie references that I appreciated but a lack of Godzilla himself; it felt like more of a King Kong themed room only. We had a good fun time but only spent around half the time in the room. I am not sure if I would recommend this to experienced players except to challenge them to do the room solo, which is definitely possible. But it’s probably great for beginners who are fans of the movies.
Jewel of the SeaIntrepid Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe loved this room! Amazing set, you could tell a lot of love was put into making this room. Apparently a lot of the staff helped to build it as well. There were cool special effects throughout the experience as well. The puzzles were great and a couple of them made you think outside the box. I can’t think of a single negative thing to say. I would definitely recommend you play this room!
13th BasementExit Game OC - AnaheimEscape roomIRLWe loved this room! Thought is was very funny and the puzzles were great. Room was a mix of linear and non-linear at some parts, but definitely linear a majority of the game. Staff was really friendly and nice, shout out to Victoria and Lulu! I highly recommend everyone check out this parody of horror escape rooms.
Zoe: RebornEscapade GamesEscape roomIRLThis room is amazing!! We had a blast and if you are a fan of horror you will love this room. Escape Room Era did a fantastic job, we enjoyed it much more than the old Zoë room. My sister and I both got fully picked up by the scare actors! Puzzles are overall pretty simple, but it’s much more about the experience. We were also impressed by the set and how many rooms there were. I can’t recommend this room enough, and I also recommend spending the extra money on the video — it’s worth it.
Principal's OfficeEscape Room Era - AnaheimEscape roomIRLThis is a silly and funny room. The puzzles are pretty simple for the most part and the room is very linear. Do not take this one too seriously and you will have a great time! We loved the goofiness of the story.
Stash HouseStash HouseEscape roomIRLFirst off I want to say the staff here is amazing, especially Pham and Gray. They were super accommodating to our group and were some of the nicest escape room staff we have ever met. This room definitely lived up to the hype!! It was a great challenge for our group of 3, but I do not recommend playing with a group of 3 unless you feel you really know what you are getting into. There were some cool, unique puzzles in this room and they utilized the space really well. The set is just awesome and everything an escape room should be. I highly recommend this room to anyone and everyone!!
Doctor Psycho60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis is a fun room. Not super challenging for enthusiasts and the puzzles were pretty straight-forward. It is non-linear. I would recommend this room to beginners or anyone who enjoys a creepy atmosphere. Also the staff here is super nice and friendly.
Wizard's Treasure60Out - HollywoodEscape roomIRLThis room was so much fun, I can’t recommend it enough! My biggest advice: don’t rush, take your time with this room and enjoy every bit of it. Besides the incredible set and props, the puzzles themselves were unique and so well-designed. You have to work together to figure things out. It’s just an adorable room. I wish I could forget it and play it all over again! Also Becca was a great GM :)
The Orphanage60Out - KoreatownEscape roomIRLGreat room! The set was fantastic and very well-made, there is a good amount of space in there for a larger group to move around. The staff here is so nice and friendly. Even though the room was not especially challenging for our group, we enjoyed the puzzles. I recommend this room for a medium-sized group of beginners or 2-3 experienced players.
Heretics [prev. Bloody Elbow] - CLOSEDQuest Room - KoreatownEscape roomIRLReally fun room! It was decently immersive, and the puzzles were fun. There are also some unique elements in the room that are cool. I recommend checking this room out.
Time Machine60Out - KoreatownEscape roomIRLOkay room, most of the puzzles were super cool and authentic but this made them pretty finicky. The staff is absolutely the nicest here and they elevated our experience. I would still recommend checking the room out because if everything works correctly it’s not bad. However: without spoiling too much, if you are sensitive to weird smells or smoke, I would say to skip it.
The Magic CottageInfinity EscapeEscape roomIRLSuper fun room! My group loved the immersion and the story, and of course the magic element. The puzzles were unique, if a bit easy or a little finicky. I highly recommend everyone go check this room out!
The Weeping WitchCross Roads Escape GamesEscape roomIRLThis is almost more of an experience than an escape room, but there are some fantastic puzzles in this room! One of the best horror-themed rooms I have ever done. I wish I could forget all about it so I could play it again. The live actor does a phenomenal job and all the effects in the room are very spooky. It is terribly immersive. Everyone NEEDS to play this room.
